Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^{\text{a}}_0\frac{1}{\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{a}^2-\text{x}^2}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

We have,
$\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{a}}_0\frac{1}{\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{a}^2-\text{x}^2}}\text{ dx}$
Putting $\text{x}=\text{a}\sin\theta$
$\text{dx}=\text{a}\cos\theta\text{ d}\theta$
When $\text{x}\rightarrow0;\theta\rightarrow0$
And $\text{x}\rightarrow\text{a};\theta\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\text{a}\cos\theta}{\text{a}\sin\theta+\sqrt{\text{a}^2-(\text{a}\sin\theta)^2}}\text{ d}\theta$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\text{a}\cos\theta}{\text{a}\sin\theta+\text{a}\cos\theta}\text{ d}\theta$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta+\cos\theta}\text{ dx}\ ....(\text{i})$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\cos\big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\big)}{\sin\big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\big)+\cos\big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\big)}\text{ d}\theta$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta+\sin\theta}\text{ d}\theta$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\sin\theta}{\sin\theta+\cos\theta}\text{ d}\theta\ ....(\text{ii})$
By adding (i) and (ii) we get
$2\text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\cos\theta+\sin\theta}{\sin\theta+\cos\theta}\text{ d}\theta$
$\Rightarrow2\text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\text{d}\theta$
$\Rightarrow2\text{I}=\Big[\theta\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0$
$\Rightarrow2\text{I}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{\pi}{4}$
